    SouthWest Station waiting area near completion

    The new SouthWest Station passenger waiting area on Technology Drive in Eden Prairie is in its final stages of construction.

    According to Friday’s Metro Green Line Extension weekly construction update, crews are performing the final checks on the building’s interior elements, such as lighting, HVAC, and safety and security systems.

    By spring of this year, SouthWest Transit will occupy the new building. Commuters will be able to connect to SouthWest buses and, ultimately, the Metro Green Line Extension once it has been finished.

    The $2.7 billion Metro Green Line Extension, also known as the Southwest light rail line, which adds 14.5 miles to the existing Green Line from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie, is now slated to open for business in 2027.

    Construction activity on light rail in Eden Prairie during the winter season is primarily centered on the SouthWest Station area.

    For more information on the project, read EPLN’s Dec. 9 article, “Light Rail: A Year in Review.”
